Aker was a brilliant footballer in the Lions trio of Premierships. Being let loose in the media become his Achilles heel and lacked the maturity to handle it. We unfortunately was a victim of the latter.
Aker's problem wasn't so much that he spoke his mind so much as he just said the first thing that came into him mind. There's a big difference between the two.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
It was mentioned on radio last week that Jarrad McVeigh is open to a Sam Mitchell like move to play for a year or 2 and transition into assistant coaching. Apparently very highly regarded for his footy brain.
If Boyd and one or both of Bob & Dale retire would we consider bringing him in for a year to provide a bit of experience down back? Also has the benefit of coming from a strong swans system and could bring some different ideas to the coaching group. Would obviously cost nothing. The only significant risk I see is his body. He has been fairly resilient over his career but has had some injury setbacks this season. If he finishes the year strongly I think it's worth considering.

Not a fan of this. He's a smart player but painfully slow, and regularly has calf injuries. Perfect replacement for Boyd I guess but I don't see and upside when we have younger guys who can come in and play his role.
4 minute mark. Giddy up, Bulldogs in box seat. Collingwood interview with Lever didn't go well.
Also said Adelaide Gold Level members will lose their shit if they lose him, like a straw th ath broke the camels back. The camels back being Bock, Davis, Tippett, Danger and hopefully Lever. To cause then pain, the deal itself is worth it. We can give Lever the 97 jumper number.

He's probably willing to make a move like Sam Mitchell because he's finished and Sydney won't re-contract him. Hard pass.

Not really. I'd consider someone like Luke Hodge for a job like that and Jarryd McVeigh ain't Luke Hodge. McVeigh was hobbled in last year's grand final.

We could do with his brilliance right now. Who can we target to do this, but also a nice bloke.:

It sounds promising , but not getting carried away . The Hurley precedent got me a little cautious

At least we are in the running. That's a good start.
